What's up is that you're balatantly accusing Feanor of things he didn't do or commit and refusing to believe facts when they are dancing infront of your very eyes.
1stly: He was the first person to threaten another in
Aman with a
weapon, it was even his brother for pete sakes.
2ndly: He refused to had over the Silmairills for the greater good for the majority, and he would so have gotten over it, they were makeable again, he did it once he could do it again, its not as though he put the greater part of his power into them, like
Yavanna did with the
trees.
3rdly: He forsoke the Teleri and killed them and if the
ships were to the Teleri as the Silmarills were to Feanor then he is even worse than anything.
4thly: He pooed all over the bond he made with his brother
Fingolfin infront of
Manwe when they both swore fealty to each other, by leaving him in Aman to face shame or face the Halecaraxe.
5thly: He laughed in the faces (pretty much) of the curse of
Mandos and Manwe himself.
6thly: He swore stupid oaths in the name of
Ilúvatar that were obviously folly and he allowed his sons to make the same mistake as himself.
7thly: He burned the boats of the Teleri, the least he could have done was to hand them over to
Círdan or somthing like that.
8thly: The oath he took eventually got carried to his sons who after it was all ammended stole the jewels and killed the guards and died and took the Silmarills with them to the deeps of the world.
Nuff said!
YAY, ill answer your quesions how, im sorry i keep getting side tracked
Or are we just talking about greatness of character? He was the greatest son a father could ever have. Or are we just talking about greatness of actions?
I guess you mean these questions...
No its not the greatness of characters, he was only great in the BAD things he did.
Yes he probibly was the greatest son in the universe, but to one guy, not to the thousands of others he screwed over!
